WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED

• Tell your daily story here!  Highlight what you learned and enjoyed most and at least one problem you solved. Problem-solving is one of the most important skills you need in life. Employers want to know HOW you get stuff done as much as WHAT you got done.
• What i Enjoyed the most is playing and talking with my friends and a problem i solved in my life would have to be when the day when i transferred and couldn’t make any friend but in the end i still made some nice friends.Another Problem i ha in my life was the fact that i coudnt make any food for myself so i followed instruction carefully so i dont mess up.
